Bill Joy For New National CTO Post?

jddeluxe writes "In an article in today's NY Times, John Doerr of Kleiner-Perkins proffered up Bill Joy's name when queried by Barack Obama for a recommendation for the position of Chief Technology Officer of the Unites States which Obama has promised to create and that the country is overdue to have. I think that's a brilliant idea, and while you're at it, have the FCC report to him as well, why don't you?" If Bill is unavailable, I'll throw my hat in the ring, although I'm holding out for Secretary of Tubes.

It didn't start with securing loans to low (no) income people. That was a contributing factor but probably not the major one. There were a lot of factors including good ol middle class Americans flipping houses, buying second houses, refinancing their mortgages to take equity out of their properties.

Greenspan turning on the flood gates and deregulation had a much bigger impact.
